thanks for the input.
only disadvantage of Dir615  is the wifi coverage for double story houses.

my upstairs room usually have streaming buffer .
i would love to put it upstairs but initially it was upstairs but my downstairs TV and media players were all downstairs so i can't receive a good streaming for high res movies. So i brought it down to the living hall but now upstairs buffers. I still have a tv upstairs .

im not sure if i can request TM to upgrade the TPlink router for me ?

Typical double storey house... is not a big deal for wifi.

Do not be scared by all the horror stories about interference, congestion, etc.

The tech is there; a good router can do the job well enough.

Tm supplied ones are not so good.

Just u need to spend some money.

Almost every week, someone will post a thread like yours.

Do read what others have just discussed.. the same thing again n again.

Lol I agree with you bro. It seems that we both have to reply to the same questions over and over again every week. TM should educate its users more during and after installation, maybe have a small booklet that explains wifi and what to expect.

not referring to anyone... but the thing is most people CANNOT believe what tm supplied is not good enough when they encounter weakness.

but why is that so difficult to understand?! tongue.gif

tm signs contract to buy in bulk low price, supplier margin pretty thin.

of course they will provide less than ideal hardware n software - any biz would!!

or maybe, rm300, 500 is just too much... simply won't spend the money?

those who change quick-quick gets the most juice out of what they pay every month to unifi!
